Answer:

y = $\frac{14}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = - 2 into the equation and solve for y

3(- 2) + 5y = 8, that is

- 6 + 5y = 8 ( add 6 to both sides )

5y = 14 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = $\frac{14}{5}$

Noah drew 22 hearts and 76 circles. What is the ratio of circles to all the shapes?

dimulka [17.4K]

You would make a fraction with circles on the top which would be 76. Then you would add 22 to 76 and get 97 because that is the number of all of the shapes. That would mean your fraction would be 76/97. If u want to simplify that is up to you.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{\pink{\sf \leadsto Yes \ there \ is \ a \ solution \ of \ the \ given \ inequality .}}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

A inequality is given to us and we need to convert it into standard form and see whether if it has a solution . So let's solve the inequality.

The inequality given to us is :-

$\bf\implies |2y + 3 | - 1 \leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies |2y+3|\leq 1 \\\\\bf\implies (|2y+3|)^2 \leq 1^2 \\\\\bf\implies (2y+3)^2 \leq 1 \\\\\bf\implies (2y)^2+3^2+2(2y)(3) \leq 1 \\\\\bf\implies 4y^2+9+12y - 1 \leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies 4y^2+12y+8 \leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies 4( y^2 + 3y + 2 ) \leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies y^2+3y +2 \leq 0 \:\:\bigg\lgroup \purple{\bf Standard \ form \ of \ inequality }\bigg\rgroup \\\\\bf\implies y^2y+2y+y+2 \leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies y(y+2)+1(y+2)\leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies ( y+2)(y+1)\leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies \boxed{\red{\bf y \leq (-2) , (-1) }}$
